    Our Handsome boy Beau. 2010-2023

    Dr. Heller was kind & compassionate with our handsome boy, Beau. Dr. Heller was able to be there within hours (he was in green valley & offered to drive up that night to OV) and assess Beau's condition & confirmed he was having severe neurological issues due likely to lesions. Prior to calling him, I spent 8 hrs at the ER Vet. For several days his condition did not improve. Having a house call by Dr. Heller was a blessing for our family. Beau was able to be in a calm & stable location and we were able to get him evaluated without causing further stress or anxiety for Beau. I've had to let go of many animals over my lifetime, and this by far was the kindest and most dignified way to do it. It's already a stressful and painful experience, yet Dr. Heller was exceedingly kind & thoughtful throughout the process. Beau's ashes were mailed back to us in a week. I highly recommend Homeward Bound Services!!!! Thank you Dr. Heller for helping our sweet Beau pass peacefully. I did call another service (Peaceful Pet), the woman who answered was clearly in her car driving and distracted when talking to me. Even after telling her Beau was having seizures, she couldn't make it to my side of town for 2 MORE DAYS! If I did go with them, I'd had to go pick up my own ashes and it was more expensive than with Dr. Heller. She was not the person for us.

    Dr. Heller is simply one of the most genuinely authentic people I've ever had the pleasure to meet. I've used his vet services for my great Dane who has Wobblers Syndrome a few times now. Yesterday he came out to show my 12-year-old terrier mix, Diogie, compassion by releasing him from the pain of oral melanoma. My nickname for Diogie was 'The Angriest Dog in Tucson' because he was a grumpy gus. He was terrified of veterinarian offices. I didnt want the last emotion that my little dog to be one of terror. Dr. Heller brought treats and I fed him roast beef until the sedative could take effect and we could humanely release him. Homeward Bound. What a perfect name for what this amazing vet does.

    Pets' end-of-life transitions are handled with care. The veterinarian is respectful and honest.

He's now long retired and we needed someone to look at our cat. The once great place is great no more. There are signs all over the office warming you of penalty fees. Actually, you get your first warnings through texts reminding you of your appointment. I showed up, waited a long time, and the vet was professional. Annoyingly, though, my next visit started with a check-in during which they told me I was there for "x" operation and when I corrected them, they said, "Oops, that's right." Always a concern on operation day! The surgery was very expensive. After dropping off kitty I got a call trying to upsell me on a more complicated surgery and I stood firm. One week later I get a call. "unfortunately he has cancer." Well, my cat is female. Could the vet at least get that right? Before hanging up, it would have been nice to get an iota of sympathy, too. Dr. Shorr certainly would have said kind words. In a nutshell, I find this clinic very corporate now, impersonal despite the perky hello when you come through the door. It's probably a good place for people who have endless money and don't mind the cool treatment. I'll never go back.

    I've had two very different experiences here. My initial…read moreexperience was great, however it was a few years ago. A different veterinary Dr. Recently, my senior dog had a bit of a health emergency. The young vet was brazenly arrogant, and my entire body felt anxious when dealing with her. She made a threat to report me and have him taken from me if I did not vaccinate him, prior to first checking to make sure he was ok. It was maddening. His immune system was already taxed and he's been rapidly going down hill since. She actually refused to give me any vaccine information and I believe in my soul she actually misled me to the type of vaccine he received. He nearly died a few days later. He was not a candidate. He needed care and attention, and instead was received coldly and cruelly. It was an absolutely disconnected and strange experience. It left my friend and I horrified. This place is a money hustle and their new young vet lacked kindness and empathy. It was a dark experience. We have since found a lovely vet to assist with his recovery, who is cordial and kind... and most of all puts us all at ease. Encanto, you may want to make sure your Vets actually like animals or can at least pretend to care about each animal without bias or judgement: I'd give this place a 0 for medical care, however, the front desk staff has always been kind and accommodating. Suggestion: perhaps don't make threats to a loving pet owner with a senior dog they love with their whole soul, in a crisis. Just start there. Integrity, transparency and decency go a long way in life and business.
